Freedom Studios, one of the country’s most exciting and dynamic emerging theatre companies, offers Happy & Married? it’s first in a trilogy of newly commissioned devised shows to audiences across the country. A marriage takes place every 1.7 minutes in the UK. A divorce takes place every 3.4 minutes in the UK. In this dark comedy we glimpse at the life behind the closed doors of married couple Ron and Marion. Have the years taken their toll, and will they ever remember what first brought them together? Will the squirrels stop taunting Ron, and will Marion ever become a musical soloist? Set against a heightened world of lusciousness, disorder and half-truths can Ron and Marion rediscover their love for one another? Devised, written and directed by South bank Show Award winner Madani Younis, Happy & Married? will look at marriage in the twenty first century in a search to understand what becomes of us after we utter those immortal words “I do”. A highlight of the Autumn Season and a must see for all generations. |
